Buying Love Chapter 74 Update on TWCS
It was just before Christmas and I was cleared to go home.
Finally.
I could have gone home sooner, but I caught a cold, which
turned into an upper-respiratory infection and then turned into bronchitis,
morphing into pneumonia. My immune system was shot because of the damage to my
lung. I lost nearly two weeks of recovery time because I was chained to my bed
with my oxygen and nebulizer. The doctor even went so far as suggesting
intubating me, but I adamantly refused. That meant being put under again and
no. Not gonna happen.
After that, I had to start from scratch for everything.
Despite the fact that Embry came in to work with me on my leg exercises in my
room, I still lost most of the momentum I’d gained from being at the
rehabilitation hospital.
Though, when I did walk my one hundred yards, unassisted, I
felt so proud. It was even better than when I got my master’s degree. However,
at the end of my walk, Edward whooped and scooped me in his arms, hugging me so
tightly, murmuring that he loved me. I broke down in tears, clinging to him. He
sat down on one of the instruments of torture in the gym, holding me in his
lap. “No crying, bellissima,” he
cooed, wiping my tears away. “This is a good thing. You get to go home, now.”
“But, where’s home?” I whispered.
“What do you mean?” he replied.
I sobered up, noticing that everyone had left. Carlisle and
Rose had been there, cheering me on, but obviously gave me some privacy to talk
to Edward. “I don’t feel comfortable staying at the hotel, Edward. With the
situation with my dad and all.”
“Where could you go?” Edward asked, his hand gently rubbing
my back.
“I don’t own any property. The house from my marriage, Riley
got to keep it since I had always planned on staying in the penthouse at Swan
Towers,” I sighed. “I can’t exactly go out and search for a house. That hundred
yards kicked my ass.”
“Also, keep in mind that you’re going to be testifying for
the grand jury next week,” Edward gently reminded me. “Bella, as far as you
know, your father is still on the other side of the world, scoping out
locations for his next new luxury resort. That doesn’t make it right. He should
be here for you. If he loved you as much as he said he did, he would have never
left, despite your suggestion.”
“You’re so fucking intelligent,” I said, leaning my head
against his shoulder. “How did you get to be so smart?”
“I’m not smart, Bella. I just speak from the heart,” he
shrugged.
